It Comes Naturally: Advice On Growing An Organic Garden
There's a lot more to horticulture than most people realize. If you plan on doing it naturally, you probably need to know certain things, such as natural bug-fighting concoctions and the soil's pH balance. Organic horticulture can be a bit tricky for those who are trying it for the first time. Follow the tips in the article below, and you will be a pro in no time.

Use annuals and biennials to enliven your flower beds. Fast-growing annuals and biennials can brighten up a flower bed, and allow you to change the look from season to season and year to year. You can fill any spaces between shrubs and perennials when they are in the sun. Some plants to get you started include petunia, marigold, sunflower, rudbekcia, and cosmos.

Transplanting plants and bringing them indoors can protect them from harsh winters. Find out which plants will be able to thrive despite the transplanting and different indoor conditions. When you dig up the plant, carefully avoid the roots then place it in a container.

Make sure to pre-soak seeds, preferably in a dark location. Place a couple of seeds in a tiny container, and fill it with water nearly to the top. The idea here is for your seeds to become fully hydrated by the time they hit the dirt. This gives the seeds a better chance of flourishing.

It's easy to just jump in and start gardening without thought, but it's important to plan your garden first. Use your seed packages to make fun markers that will remind you where each type of plant is growing. It's also a good way to keep smaller plants from getting swallowed up by the rest of your garden.

Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is essential to the growth of plants because of its role in photosynthesis. If the level of CO2 is extremely high, your plants will grow much better. A greenhouse has the best levels available. Higher CO2 levels can provide optimal conditions for growing plants.

Now, you shouldn't get your hopes up and believe that a few tips are going to turn you into an instant professional gardener. However, these tips are a great starting point if you do plan to grow organically. As you implement these tips and hone your skills, you'll be a professional green-thumb-holder in no time.
